All about Zakynthos

In the courtyard of the church of the Ag. Triados of Meso Gerakari, next to the bell tower, there is a marble column in memory of the fallen soldiers. On the upper part of the column there is a relief of a wreath made of laurel branches tied with tape at the top, while at the bottom of the column there is a relief of a flowers container. On the front of the monument is the inscription: 'The community of Meso Gerakario honouring its children who died heroically for their faith and country'. Struzan Petron Sp.
